be hosted every Thursday evening from 6-8pm with new materials from CoMotion
at the UW.
DBHR Fellowship- Alexis will be joining the coalition from April 12-June 30, we are
excited to welcome her and work together on planning/programming. Discussed
hosting a meet and greet April 13 at 3pm to welcome Alexis to the team.
Vaping prevention education- Quilcene/Brinnon May 2021, PT and Chimacum dates
likely to be pushed until next school year.
Drug Take Back promotion April 2021- rather than doing an in-person event in PT we
will see if promoting the MED project mail back program is an effective tool for
removing unused/unwanted prescription drugs from the community. Stay tuned for
social media posts/newspaper ads coming the last week of April.
Update on positive social norms campaign/intern- still working on hiring paperwork
for one intern at 14 hours per week.
Sharps container at fairgrounds- Greg, Denise, and Lindsay have been collaborating
to figure out how to fund sharps removal from the fairgrounds. We hope to use
some of the coalition’s funds from State Opioid Response (SOR) to fund this critical
service and are waiting to receive approval from DBHR.
Denise’s NEAR (Neurobiology, Epigenetics, ACEs, and Resilience) science training
certification- Denise will be certified at the end of May to provide NEAR science
trainings to the community.
PTHS Phase 3 changes- PTSD continues with the hybrid in-person/virtual model for
the time being, lots of changes will be coming up in regards to
scheduling/clubs/sports, as well as with a new superintendent starting over the
summer.
